Silent Star 2: Menagerie

740 is town indicative because as scum it wouldn't feel like cheating as much to express yourself, because expressing yourself just outs you as scum

also other people were using gifs so it is like, appropriate to fit in. whereas cracking the game open and progressing the dayplay beyond its current state with a certain tool raises questions about the tool differently

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

like I knew a small cat like a housecat could do purr,

i didnt think purr was available to the big cats - so when I saw the cheetah doing it I was like ooh I can just do that

[Isis]

I was a cat goddess day 1 hopefully Hectic can modconfirm that if anyone doubts it

If you think using gifs to express yourself is bad for scum, why did my excessive gif usage seem scummy to you then? by that logic shouldn't people who were less expressive/present be more scummy?

I apologize for mis-identifying you my goddess. your glory was too great for a silly tiger to comprehend.

I think shiki thinks it's the best way to express oneself. I don't think you think that. I think you think it's the funnest way to play. Frame of reference matters.
I don't think it was scummy that you used gifs in and of itself vs. you weren't solvey with them I guess

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

if I thought I could express myself better with GRR ROAR etc.. I would've

I really had no idea what you guys were saying back and forth - like I completely missed Ydrasse's post 16 being to set up some kind of coding system - I just saw it and thought cool bear pictures.

Stupid? Yea but I've never played an animal sounds game before and I was excited for my first game of animal sounds. I didn't even think setting up a code was even allowed or in the spirit of the game.

[Isis]

I thought Ydrasse's post was cool bear pictures. in hindsight it seems super obvious, especially when considering the questioning bear

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

we are both stupid then! <3

I don't know why they say we are the top picks for recruits

[Isis]

is that tongue in cheek?
I would recruit you

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

the person you were interacting with was already developing the framework. you didn't need to wholly invent it it was already being done by someone else and instead of participating in that you random gifs.

I really am confused about this part of your case against me.

Did you think Scum!Pooky looked at Ydra's post and decided hmm, there's someone developing a framework, let me smother her with random <3 gifs or

I'm just really dumb and missed the framework development thing completely and was excited to smother my lover with random <3 gifs?

but why?

I'm such a bad choice - I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to get too involved in games and drive the action - that's like the last thing you want in a scum-buddy - I'm like a bear in a candy shop! I will wreck the place for fun and stuff.

[Isis]

you are adorbz

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

melting -.-

I still remember that time you called me full of sunshine or something a while back

it seemed to me like scum!pooky saw someone working towards solving the game and attempted to befriend them without participating in the solving of the game.

I don't remember but that seems like something I would do

[drusilla]

Yea but I've never played an animal sounds game before and I was excited for my first game of animal sounds.

i have also never played an animal sounds game before and i was excited for a game where the players had to find a way to communicate. i was disappointed that a lot of players did not seem to share my excitement. those who weren't really playing felt different from you however, as you were making your presence known but it never felt like you were working towards finding mafia.

[Isis]

did i disappoint you drusilla
i wanted to try to play but I struggled

It really made my day,

thank you <3

it was so weird because I had never played with you before and it felt like the nicest thing anyone's said about me in a while.

nah i just i don't know this is too hypocritical of me to even say anything

[Ydrasse]

tbh i don't really get how people's first thoughts weren't on trying to find a meaningful way to communicate with one another? like after the surprise of learning about the restriction i was instantly trying to figure out a way to get my point across in game.

2 people didn't have that first thought because they were scum

Spoiler:

I felt like I could communicate using sounds that were intuitive. "Rumble" really easily seemed like a positive sound, right? etc.

my first thought was ooh cool tiger gifs because I had done a game posting only gifs before and I kind of like tigers.

I completely missed the coding words thing because I'm kind of dumb like that sowwie >.>

[Ydrasse]

oh what a good cat... loki is so majestic. he knows many secrets.....

i think that ones like that could go either way; i wasn't as worried about the connotations of the word so much as making sure that people would associate it with a certain image/general feeling via photo.

p-edit: what was your second thought?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i started looking up tiger gifs lol
